In this project we were told to create a poster about the word identity and what it means. The objective of this project was to teach us how to create a poster based on one word and what does it mean to you and everyone. I completed this project by first thinking of an idea on what identity is. Identity is what defines it's what makes you, you and what you like to do and things you like. So when creating my poster I started thinking about how many people are different from each other so I defined their differences using colors red and blue and for one of the people I used purple.
The reason I used purple was because that's what red and blue make when they are mixed together.So the purple filled person wouldn't know who he was because he was neither red or blue he was something new. Photoshop made it possible to complete my identity poster. This is relevant to web design because I may design poster in the future and I may need to find the meaning of something wile doing it. I see myself using these skills in the future in my labs and projects that are coming up.

Project #6 Yearbook Reflection
Brian Velazquez Yearbook Project 4/27/17
Project #6 was the yearbook project in which we created our own yearbooks. The objective of the lab was to teach us how to create our own yearbook. In this project it was different then the others we've done before. First of all this project required group work and not individual work, so the first thing we did was get into our groups of four. My group of four was made up of Andy .J. , Job .N. , Tenzin .C. , and finally me. After getting into our groups we all decided what our roles would be the role I was given was the role of Chief Editor I had to make sure that the yearbook was in good conditions and that their were no mistakes being made in the Yearbook. Then we needed to create a draft on were everything would go in the yearbook, we created the draft in InDesign creating 12 spreads for a total of 24 pages. After creating the draft we each took 3 spreads to complete I took the Trips Page the Cte Expo page, and the collage page. Then we got to work on each of our spreads.
After a couple weeks of working on our yearbooks, we all finally finished all of our spreads.So the only thing left to be done was to combine all of our spreads to make the yearbook. So after sending each other the spreads we have done we finished making the yearbook and the only thing that needed to be done was to print and submit the file. When we tried to print the yearbook we ran in too some trouble it may have been because we didnt put the right settings or that the file was too big, but after a couple of minutes my group handed in the printed yearbook and submitted our files. That is how we finished our yearbooks, using InDesign.

Lab 11 Reflection Journal
Brian Velazquez 3/30/17
In today's lab we had a guest teacher teaching us because she was being evaluated to become a teacher at my school or not. But she taught a new technique called the text filled image technique. This technique is a shown to the left it is a text with an image inside of it the technique allows texts to stands more out and look more colorful. After teaching us this new technique we had to do it ourselves the the word sports. The image was provided but we had to pick the font and the text size.
The objective of the lab was to teach is this brand new technique so we can use for ourselves in future labs and projects including the yearbook project we are currently working on, to make our texts stand out even more than before. We did the lab by going to InDesign and first writing the word sports in a large font and size using the text type tool. After writing the word we then went to our top menu bar and click on type after clicking on type we clicked create an outline. Finally after creating the outline all we had to do was place the image and fix it so it wills the entire word. The software we used was adobe InDesign CC. This lab is relevant to web design because it allows us to create more popping cover that will attract people. I see myself using these skills in the future when creating websites I can make them pop out even more I can also use these skills in future labs and projects to improve them.

Worked Base Learning Reflection Journal
Brian Velazquez 3/20/17
In today's WBL workshop we learned about the interviewing part of getting a job and about our resume. We talked about this topic in case if we wanted to try to get a job and or try to apply for internships in the summer or in the future. The first thing we talked about was how to be more presentable and to look the interviewer in eyes when talking to them and to have a firm handshake to show confidence and to always be honest and never tell a lie to the interviewer because in the future he might ask you to live up to what you told him/her and that might cost you your job. After talking about this we moved on to talk about our resume and what should be placed in it.
When creating a resume you must place important information such as Name, Email, Phone #, and address. The email that is used in your resume must be professional and it cannot have a silly name. You should also place your skills in to your resume such as I would place Photoshop and InDesign in mine since I have skill in both since I have been using them in Visual Design for a couple of months. Only put skills that are relevant to the job itself because if you don't the things you put are basically useless.Also you should put if you work well better with teams or alone or can be trusted and if you are honest, placing these on your resume can let the interviewer learn a bit more about you. Placing your contacts can show the interviewer that you know a lot of people this can sometimes help you. Also putting any community service can help show how well you work and what you have done for the community. Finally after finishing all of this go back to check your resume for any errors in spelling so there can be little mistake. This is what we talked about in the WBL workshop and what I learned from it.

HW Blending Images
Brian Velazquez 3/31/17
In this design to the left you can see that the text filled image technique was used to place a picture inside the text. This technique enhanced the overall design of the text very well. It allowed the text to stand out more than average text. And the colors make it really beautiful to look at. I think the colors we re chosen because the word "BOOYAH" is usually used when someone is happy and those colors are very bright adding to the theme of happiness. This is how the technique enhanced the overall design of the medium.
In the design to the right the word that the text filled image technique was used on was "Urban Design". The technique does overall improve the design of the text. The texts does stand out more clearly than others, the image that was used was a picture of urban cities. I think the image is suppose to show what the text means as urban. But overall the design showed much improvement with the use of the technique.
